Newbie...I welcome your advice.

I am new here. I was only diagnosed about three weeks ago. My main complaints are bladder spasms, bad bloating, pain in the butt...literally, and back pain. Any suggestions on getting rid of the bloating? I feel like I am nine months pregnant! It is uncomfortable to even sit.

Same I always feel like I am pregnant the size my belly goes, I never seem to be able to get rid of it, I have read on here that there is a special diet you can try, have a look through the posts for the link or I am sure someone will repost it for you. Have you had a lap to be diagnosed?

No. After a CT Scan and an ultrasound where they did not find anything else, and due to my symptoms, my OBGYN feels that it is endo.

I would get the lap asap to confirm as its the only way to diagnose it, I have same symptoms as you with the bladder and bowl and I am at stage 4 and my bladder and bowl are fused to my other organs, so please don't wait, get it confirmed asap before more damage is caused x
